When I used to live in Western New York between Buffalo and Rochester, we just called them 'blizzards.' And in between blizzards, a normal, quiet night was, "4-6 inches expected, with another 4-6 in lake-effect areas."
But apparently those two low systems have collided, and it looks like Boston will be among the places, along with Eastern Long Island, that will get the worst of it, 2-3 feet of snow. Of course, this isn't the quiet, beautiful, big-flake snow of a Hallmark card. The wind is only blowing at a 'moderate' 24 mph, but there's something about the structure or placement of my building that makes the wind whistle, even in the hallways. In any case, even though all night I could see only a fraction of an inch accumulated on the bushes, it did occur to me that, even though I couldn't hear it, the wind might be blowing it away.
Well I can sure hear it now, and visibility is very low. In the last hour, temp and windchill have each dropped 1 (16f, -2), with one more expected in the next hour. I was planning a 5 or 6 mile walk to and from the drugstore, but I've decided I can wait another 55 hours till they'll deliver. I know I could still do it, but I've got nothing to prove.
What's it like in your neck of the woods?
Update: 15 and -3 now. I love how happy and jacked the weathermen are.
